The all-Spanish clash in the European competition is set to make some waves. Follow this exciting clash with our detailed guide.

What is Villarreal and Valencia's form ahead of this game?

Villarreal's woes in La Liga have them in serious jeopardy of being relegated. Ranked 18th in La Liga, the Yellow Submarine has failed to win any of their last three games, with two of those being losses (against Celta and Betis). Playing at home could be crucial for Javi Calleja's men, since they have won two out of their last three at the Estadio de la Cerámica, with the other game ending in a 4-4 draw against Barcelona on April 2.

Valencia saw their five-game streak without a loss come to an end last weekend, when Rayo Vallecano claimed all the points with a 2-0 win last Saturday. The team's most recent away win came against Sevilla on March 31, when Los Che took home all the points thanks to a lonely goal by Dani Parejo.

How did Villarreal and Valencia get to this stage of the UEFA Europa League?

The all-yellow side eliminated Sporting Lisbon in the Round of 32 with a 2-1 aggregate, and went on to defeat Zenit with an authoritative 5-2 score after two games.

Valencia ended in third place of their UEFA Champions League group, which landed them a spot in Pot 1 of the UEFA Europa League draw. Los Naranjeros eliminated Steven Gerrard's Rangers with a 3-0 aggregate in the Round of 32, and moved on to defeat Krasnodar in the Round of 16.
